Looking for a .22-LR revolver in ok condition. Barrel length does not matter, finish/grips don't not matter, Brand don't matter, only that it shoots safely. Just looking for something cheap to play with and work on. Houston area only, can't travel too far. I have CHl so sell is no problem, also have BOS to sign. Send pm with a pic or 2 Thanks

If you don't have any luck finding a used one, you may consider a Heritage Rough Rider. They sell new for around $200 ($220 at Bass Pro), and seem to be pretty decent for what they are.

I've looked at those, but I am looking for something to work on
Thanks

Maybe try a pawn shop?

Thanks that is the next place I am going to look. but those people try to sell guns that are used and beat up for a new price. I looked at a Henry .22 rifle one time and the guy wanted more than a new model. I just laughed at him

That is probably the most common, but I know several people who have actually gotten good quality firearms at a good price. It has never happened to me, but I don't frequent pawn shops very often. I think that you have to be persistent and maybe lucky to be at the right place at the right time.

I am not a pawn shop person either. to many shady people hang out in them. I'll go armed

That's funny. We have 3 pawn shops here in Plano. None of them have a great handgun selection. Hit and miss at best. I have to admit to feeling like I am being eyeballed by the owners when I go inside. I have not been very lucky finding good deals at any of them.

I know how you feel, looser hang out inside criminals outside. we've had a few people knocked off in Houston at pawn shops
